Before You Visit
Call Patient Information at 781-340-3400 for an update on the patient’s condition and whether a visit is appropriate.
Designate one family member (spokesperson) to inquire about the patient’s condition. Ask the primary nurse when the family spokesperson should call for an updated condition.
Who Can Visit
Please do not visit if...
- you are feeling ill,
- have an infection,
or
- have any contagious condition.
Visitors should be 12 years or older.
Younger children are susceptible to infection. And, even if supervised by an adult, children can be disruptive to other patients.
Some Rules
